UCLA & Dugoni School of Dentistry
WHAT'S INCLUDED
Implants now provide a far more permanent solution than dentures alone, preventing the bone loss that often follows missing teeth.
Replace one missing tooth without touching neighboring teeth.
Anchor a bridge to replace multiple missing teeth.
A more secure, stable fit than removable dentures alone.
Stimulates the jawbone the way a natural root does.
Matches the size, shape, and color of your natural teeth.
Builds up bone density when needed before placement.
YOUR VISIT
Here's what the dental implant process looks like.
Dr. Afifi evaluates your jawbone density and overall oral health.
The titanium post is surgically placed into your jawbone.
The implant fuses securely with the surrounding bone.
A crown matched to your natural teeth completes the restoration.
WHY IT MATTERS
Implants have become the gold standard for tooth replacement, addressing both appearance and long-term health.
Designed to mimic the appearance and function of real teeth.
Helps prevent the bone loss that follows tooth loss.
No need to alter or rely on adjacent healthy teeth.
With proper care, implants can last a lifetime.
IS THIS YOU?
Most healthy adults missing one or more teeth, with adequate bone density or openness to bone grafting, are good candidates.
If you've been told before that you weren't a candidate, it's worth asking again, options have expanded.

Most healthy adults with adequate jawbone density are good candidates. Dr. Afifi will evaluate your specific situation.
The full process, from placement to final crown, typically takes several months to allow proper healing.
Placement is done under anesthesia, so discomfort during the procedure is minimal. Mild soreness during recovery is normal.
With proper care, implants can last a lifetime, though the crown may eventually need replacement after many years.
Dr. Afifi may recommend a bone grafting procedure to build up the area before implant placement.
Schedule a consultation with Dr. Afifi to find out if implants are right for you.
